Moving village save file from Playtest to Demo

[h2]Hello Villages [/h2]

As we launched the Demo yesterday, we have closed the playtest build for Village Tale, as the Demo has the most content.
If you want to migrate your village from the Playtest into the Demo, you can move the save files between these two folders:

Playtest folder:
%USERPROFILE%\LocalLow\Knight Owl Games\Village Tale Playtest\
Demo folder:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Knight Owl Games\Village Tale Demo\

Each player has a folder with unique ID number. You can simply import this folder to the demo save folder.

We recommend that you start a new game with the demo because you might face some minor bugs if you move the save file.

Thanks everyone for playing and sharing feedback on the playtest it helped us a lot in making the demo. We hope you will try it too.
